Healing With Pressure Point Therapy : Simple, Effective Techniques for Massaging Away More Than 100 Common Ailments

by Jack Forem, Steve Shimer

A comprehensive, holistic book on pressure point healing.
Steve (my co-author) and I worked long and hard to create a book that would be truly helpful. We aimed to be complete, comprehensive, and holistic. We focused not only on healing, but on strategies for prevention and maintaining good health. And not only on pressure point procedures, but also on other natural approaches that anyone can use, such as simple exercises and stretches, diet (helpful foods and foods to avoid), meditation and stress management, herbs, supplements, etc. We drew from useful knowledge of both East and West. In addition to specific procedures for about 100 conditions (organized in an easy-to-use A to Z format) we've included a "Daily Health Builder," and "Eleven Universal Guidelines for Healthy Living." We've also included over 200 illustrations, to help you locate each point precisely. We hope you enjoy the book and find it helpful.

A "user friendly" guide that belongs on every bookshelf, September 11, 1999

This is a complete, well balanced and easy to read guide on the subject. I have used the book's "A to Z" guide several times in the past few weeks to "self treat" localized symptoms. The illustrations make it very easy for anyone to figure out where the important points are. The authors walk you through the whole process step by step. Ahhhhh! Temporary relief from localized pain every time I tried the book's recommendations. And the "energy tune up" section alone is worth the price of the book. There is even a section on beauty secrets! I also found the "additional suggestions" section that follows every topic area particularly helpful. Finally...the perfect holiday season gift for all my achey breaky friends.

I've read many books on acupressure and other forms of pressure point massage but this book, more than any of the others, has had a profound effect on my health and my relationship with the world around me. It's not just a book on how to, but a guide and teaching tool to live life more fully. I urge everyone to read it. It helps.

As a patient of Steve Shimer's I have become I true believer in the power of acupuncture not only because of the relief it has brought from my chronic pain, but because of the general sense of well being I have at the conclusion of each treatment. With this new book, the authors' bring this healing power and sense of well being into the comfort of your home or office, using the techniques of acupressure, reflexology, and shiatsu. I was amazed at the clarity with which the authors were able to express the techniques and points so that they are easy to find and use. Whether you are looking for relief from a common problem or just to feel better all around, you can find what you need in this A to Z road map to well-being.

Hooray! Finally, a highly trained expert in the field has written a superb book on acupressure that is head-and-shoulders above all other such books in print. This book provides a beautifully written, easy to understand summary of the basics of Chinese medicine, plus a clear, well illustrated guide to acupressure, shiatsu, and reflexology for almost any disease you can think of.
